Thought I had found a nice little combo...

Prince Xizor - Virgao, Vet. Instincts (needed for Bodyguard to work), Autothrusters, Fire Control System and Inertial Dampeners
Serissu - Bodyguard and Stealth Device

Basically, Serissu sticks to Xizor like glue and he becomes very hard to hit (Serissu = re-roll a defense dice, Bodyguard = increases agility by 1, Autothrusters = bonus evade in the right circumstances), particularly with turret weapons, while her stealth device makes her a tricky target as well.

However, in my first trial of this list, my support ships Z-95s with Feedback Array died incredibly quickly leaving me outgunned (I actually dispatched them myself using Feedback Array to at least do some damage as they were only going to get taken out).

Any better ideas for support? I've got 37 points left for alternatives.

Try this:

Talonbane Cobra (28)
Lone Wolf (2)
Glitterstim (2)
Engine Upgrade (4)

Or you could throw in a Trandoshan Slaver in a YV-666 with a couple of upgrades.

Yeah, was looking at Talonbane. I think he would be a lot more of a threat

Keep in mind that he's essentially an X-wing so he'll die rather quickly.

I like the idea of the Trandoshan Slaver. The only problem with that particular combination is that the only ship on which to shunt damage from Xizor... is Serissu. And we all know how durable a Scyk is.
